Solution

The correct option is C

Venus


Solar system

  1. Our solar system has eight planets. All planets revolve around the sun in a fixed orbit. As the distance of planets increases from the sun their temperature decreases.
  2. Also, the amount of heat retained and the temperature of the planet depends upon the nature and composition of the atmosphere of the planets.

Option C

  1. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, the second planet from the sun.
  2. The atmosphere of the planet is rich in carbon dioxide and hence retains more heat energy received from the sun resulting in high temperatures.
  3. The average temperature of Venus is 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hence option C is correct.
